Description

The Palgrave Handbook of Zero-Carbon Energy Systems and Energy Transitions provides a comprehensive and authoritative source of information, analysis and recommendations on the multi- and inter-disciplinary subject of zero carbon energy systems. The Handbook will advance thinking and research underlying the on-going energy transition by; covering a wide range of energy technologies and sources (e.g. fossil fuels, renewables, low carbon energy) including investigating the potential of new and alternative technologies and fuel sources and looking at the power, heating/cooling and transport sectors; Looking at varied legal jurisdictions and governance approaches including developing and developed countries and investigating potential new approaches to achieving a zero carbon energy system; Providing a broad range of theoretical and methodological approaches from a range of disciplines; Inclusion of a  global range of case studies from Africa, Arctic, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas (Central, North and South) and the Pacific, from the international, national, sub-national to city/community level.

Author Biography:

Dr Geoffrey Wood is a Lecturer in Energy and Environmental Law at Stirling University Law School in Scotland. He holds a PhD in low carbon energy law, policy and governance from the Centre for Energy Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) at the University of Dundee. An interdisciplinary energy and environmental law, policy and regulatory specialist, his research and teaching focuses on the development of legal and governance frameworks for sustainable energy transitions to optimise policy delivery in terms of environmental, social, economic, political, and technological outcomes. Recent research includes exploring the impact of austerity on environmental decision making in Scotland, a critical analysis of policy risk and politics on low carbon energy deployment in the UK and Scotland, the role of definitions in renewable and low carbon energy governance. He has published extensively on energy and environmental issues, and has published over 40 articles, books, book chapters and other publications, including two books ‘The Palgrave Handbook of Managing Fossil Fuels and Energy Transitions’ (2019) and ‘A Critical review of Scottish Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Policy’ (2017). Geoff is also Series Editor of the major new Palgrave Studies in Energy Transitions (PSET) handbook series (forthcoming, Palgrave 2021) and Editor-in-Chief for the 'Encyclopedia of Renewable and Low Carbon Energy' (forthcoming, Palgrave). Geoff is a Researcher in global energy transitions at the University of Dundee. Guest Lecturer in energy, climate and environment at Glasgow Caledonian University. Geoff has previously held research, lecturing and consultancy positions in energy, climate and the environment for various organisations including the Scottish Government, Glasgow Caledonian University, NEM Consultancy, the Offshore Renewables Institute, Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the Extractives Hub (a joint UK Government-University of Dundee project). Dr Komali Yenneti is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Wolverhampton. She leads the domestic degree program Geography, Urban Environments and Climate Change and Hong Kong degree top-up programs Construction Management and Quantity Surveying. Her current research interests cover just energy transitions, climate change, sustainable smart cities, net-zero, and urban inequalities. She is the Chair of Cool Building Solutions Policy Workgroup at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the founding Chair of the International Geographical Union’s Young and Early-Career Geographers Task Force. She has previously worked at the University of New South Wales, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies and German Development Institute. She has published over 40 journal articles, book chapter and reports, organised and chaired conferences and conferences sessions, and delivered keynote addresses and invited lectures in more than 50 events around the world.  She is the recipient of the 2022 International Geographical Union’s Early Career Researcher Award and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research’s Green Talents 2012 award. Mariana Liakopoulou is a Markets and Policy Associate working in the EU liaison office of the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET). In this capacity, she undertakes analysis on topics related to the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package, as well as legislative proposals and Guidances stemming from the recast Renewable Energy Directive and the EU ETS framework, including in the context of certification of renewable and low-carbon gases. She moreover focuses on policies and regulations related to the French and Greek gas and power markets, supporting the work of the pertinent EFET Task Forces. She also serves as Energy Security Research Analyst with the NATO Association of Canada, producing research works on energy policy in the Caspian region and the gasification of Southeast and Central and Eastern Europe. Formerly, she was a consultant and member of the Roster of Experts of the Energy Community Secretariat. She has also completed an internship in the Director’s office of the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators. She started out as Energy Research Fellow with Caspian Policy Center (Washington DC.) Her publication record comprises works for various industry sources and journals, including the International Association for Energy Economics, the United States Association for Energy Economics, Natural Gas World, the NATO ENSEC COE’s “Energy Highlights” journal, European Gas Hub and Gulf Intelligence. She is a graduate of the School of Economics and Political Science of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, holding a Master’s in International Relations and European Studies. Her Master’s thesis looks into the European Commission’s strategy towards the Fourth/ Southern Gas Corridor in correlation with the legal status of the Caspian Sea.  Dr Vincent Onyango is a Reader (Environmental Assessment and Planning) at the University of Dundee’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning and leads the degree programme Environmental Sustainability (MA Hons). His academic interests cover, among others, Climate Change, Renewable Energy, Energy Transitions, ESG/CSR, and Environmental Impact Assessment. His research focuses on environmental assessments and environmental planning, aimed towards integrated environmental management (Sustainability and Natural Resource Management) with greater interest in processes and methodologies towards unifying the broader and more integrative issues of sustainability and environmental governance. He has recently undertaken research on the effectiveness and design of Scotland’s policies on greenhouse gas emissions in relation to new houses; spatial planning, and; marine planning and implications for multi-use of the oceans. Vincent has published more than 40 articles, book chapters and reports, and his current research focus is expanding to cover Sub-Saharan African energy and environmental issues.
